#75 Casual Birding during Lockdown

#75 Casual Birding during Lockdown

Published 6 years, 2 months ago
Description

In March 2020 life has suddenly changed for all of us.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has meant the closure of parks and reserves, self-isolation and social distancing.  

The first part of this episode talks about some of the things we can do to stay in touch with nature with ideas for those who might be casual birding for the first time.

If you want to avoid hearing about the current crisis, please jump to 11:30 to hear about our regular casual birding sightings.

And the Last Call segment this week features dawn songs from my suburban garden.
